What are Some Notable Applications of Biopanning in Toxicology?
One notable application of biopanning in toxicology is the development of peptide-based inhibitors for botulinum toxin. Researchers have successfully used biopanning to identify peptides that bind to the toxin, potentially leading to new treatment options for botulism. Additionally, biopanning has been applied in environmental toxicology to create biosensors that detect pollutants such as heavy metals and pesticides.
